McKeon, Smith Welcome Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to the House Armed Services Committee

Statement

House Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard P. "Buck" McKeon and Ranking Member Adam Smith (D-WA) made the following joint statement today on the appointment of Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) to the House Armed Services Committee:

"We are both pleased to welcome Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to the Armed Services Committee. Tulsi comes to us as a freshman Congresswoman, but she has experience where it counts -- as a veteran soldier. We are always humbled to welcome veterans to this bipartisan committee, and it is particularly true in this case. Tulsi's experiences as both an enlisted soldier and an officer will bring great credit and expertise to our oversight role. We know she will serve the people of Hawaii just as honorably as she has served her country."
